City Workers Were Ready to Tackle Morning's Snow

The Greenfield Department of Public Works was ready for today's snowstorm, even if many commuters were not.

According to Dan Ewert, the Superintendent of Public Works, salt trucks hit the streets at 5 a.m. this morning when rain changed to snow. Two hours later, the department changed over to a full-scale plowing operation and all plow operators are currently on the streets.

Original forecasts called for just rain in the area with accumulating snow likely for north and west of Greenfield. But the snow did reach the city and its surrounding areas and since this morning, multiple inches of wet, heavy snow has accumulated.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory until 6 p.m. for all counties west and north of Milwaukee County.
